From the man behind the football king to the football king.

Chapter 871 Three Heroes vs. Real Madrid

Bruno was so excited that he turned around and rushed out of the field, running all the way with his arms stretched as far as possible. He was like a glider, flying across the Allianz Arena, and finally slid to his knees in the corner area.

He was already sweating profusely, but his expression was extremely excited.

After scoring two goals at home against Bayern Munich in the first leg, he scored twice again!

He enjoys the feeling of scoring a goal!

Soon, Bruno's Manchester United teammates also rushed over. Harry Kane hugged Bruno from behind and laughed loudly, looking extremely excited. He looked even happier than if he had scored a goal.

Including Fred, Maguire, Van Dijk...all Manchester United players rushed up to celebrate Bruno's goal.

Bruno was a little flattered by the scene, but he felt that his teammates were not only happy for his double goal, but also celebrating the team's lead over Bayern Munich again.

As long as they can maintain this score until the end, Manchester United will definitely eliminate Bayern Munich and reach the semi-finals of the Champions League for four consecutive years!

Eliminating the powerful Bayern Munich in a two-round double kill also laid a solid foundation for Manchester United to win the Champions League for the fourth consecutive time!

………………

After Bruno scored a goal, Flick made a decisive substitution, replacing striker Choupo-Moting with Spanish midfielder Martinez. Alaba returned to the back line, and Bayern Munich changed to 432 to keep the back line intact.

At this time, Flick had realized that Bayern Munich was doomed.

Trailing 1:2 in this game and two goals behind in the aggregate score of 3:5, with one man less and only about twenty minutes left, Bayern Munich no longer had much hope of a comeback.

As the situation has developed to this point, the pragmatic approach is to maintain the intensity of the defense and prevent the team from suffering a crushing defeat.

Bayern Munich's substitution did help them stabilize their position. Bruno was a little bit entangled by the French right back, and his physical strength was indeed consumed too seriously.

In order to play to his advantage, he frequently made quick shuttle runs in this game, with the most sprints in the team. This brought him wonderful performances and offensive power, but it also greatly consumed his physical energy.

But after scoring twice, Bruno's deterrent power was there.

After leading 2:1, Manchester United continued to attack Bayern Munich. With more people than the opponent, Manchester United easily controlled the situation on the field and suppressed Bayern Munich.

Finally, in the 87th minute, after Luke Shaw cooperated with Rashford on the left, Manchester United's left-back made a cross, Harry Kane headed the ball back, and Bruno inserted and shot to score the third goal for Manchester United.

hat trick!

Bruno actually scored a hat trick at the Allianz Arena against Bayern Munich!

………………

Bruno's hat trick helped Manchester United change the score to 3:1, which greatly excited everyone in Manchester United.

Even though the most memorable moment in Manchester United's history was the miracle at Camp Nou, when their opponent was Bayern Munich, throughout Manchester United's history, they have never had any advantage against the Bundesliga champions.

Especially in the away game at Allianz Arena, before today, Manchester United's record was 5 games, 2 draws and 3 losses without a win.

In the 1998-1999 season, the season when Manchester United won the Treble for the first time, Manchester United encountered Bayern Munich during the Champions League group stage, and the two sides drew 2:2.

两年之后的2000-2001赛季，曼联和拜仁慕尼黑再度在欧冠四分之一决赛相遇，结果曼联在安联球场1:2败北，从而以1:3的总比分被淘汰。

In the following 2001-2002 season, the Red Devils and Bayern Munich met again in the Champions League group stage, and the score of the two sides was 1:1 in the away game at the Allianz Arena.

Next was the 2009-2010 season. Manchester United, aiming to reach the Champions League final for three consecutive years, defeated Bayern Munich 3:2 at home and took the lead in advancing to the semi-finals. However, they lost 1:2 in the second leg away from home and were eliminated due to the disadvantage of fewer away goals.

In the season when Ferguson retired and Moyes coached Manchester United, Manchester United and Bayern Munich met again in the Champions League quarter-finals. The 1:1 home draw allowed Manchester United to retain a glimmer of hope of advancing to the semi-finals, which was also Moyes' hope of keeping his job. However, the 1:3 away defeat not only shattered Manchester United's hope of winning the Champions League next season, but also directly destroyed Moyes' hope of continuing to coach Manchester United.

………………

That is to say, Manchester United has never defeated Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.

The only thing worth mentioning is that Manchester United has defeated Bayern Munich twice in the Champions League final.

But today, at the Allianz Arena, Manchester United was able to beat Bayern Munich 3:1, which was Manchester United's first away victory against Bayern Munich in history.

The entire Stamford Bridge stadium fell into silence. All Bayern Munich fans obviously could not accept the team's defeat, because they had never lost a game here in the past year or so.

But tonight, they not only lost the game, but also lost people.

Kimmich's red card is unquestionable. Whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally, there is no problem with being shown a red card. The real problem is that the team performed too badly.

In contrast to the depressed Bayern Munich, everyone at Manchester United seemed excited.

The 3:1 victory over Bayern Munich not only made the players excited, but Mourinho was equally excited.

With the end of this game, the top four teams of this season's Champions League have all been decided, and the semi-final matchups in the two half zones have also been determined: Manchester United vs. Manchester City, Chelsea vs. Real Madrid!

In the Champions League semi-finals, there were once again three Premier League teams, and the fans joked that this was another drama of three heroes fighting Lu Bu.

………………

"That's a red card, no doubt about it!"

At the post-match press conference, Flick, who lost at home, seemed a little bored and looked very lonely, and even took the initiative to acknowledge the red card.

"I believe everyone who saw it would think it was a red card. Kimmich's action completely killed the game. He caused us to have one less player than the opponent for most of the second half."

"If there hadn't been that red card, I believe the game would have been completely different."

But Flick also mentioned another foul, which was a long pass from Bayern Munich. Musiala dribbled past Luke Shaw and Van Dijk and entered the penalty area and was tripped by Maguire. He believed that from the slow-motion replay, the Manchester United player did not touch the ball.

"There is no doubt that it was a penalty, there should be no doubt about it, but the referee seemed to have seen nothing about it, which I find very puzzling."

Flick's next sentence once again caused an uproar among the media reporters from all over the world gathered at the press conference. No one expected that Flick would once again point the finger at the referee.

Regarding the penalty proposed by Flick, Mourinho said he did not see it, but he believed that before the penalty, Choupo-Moting's elbow should have received a second yellow card and the Cameroonian should have been sent off with a red card.

"Alaba also wanted to say that in the second half, he pushed Bruno down in the penalty area. That should definitely be a penalty and he should have received a second yellow card, but the referee did not do that."

………………

The head coaches of both teams denounced the referee's decision and were obviously dissatisfied, including Mourinho who won the game.

Media reporters are also very clear that this is a common practice.

In the same game, there will definitely be some controversial decisions made by a referee, some of which may be in favor of Manchester United, some in favor of Bayern Munich. The degree of judgment depends on his control over the game.

It is conceivable that if the rules are really followed strictly, a lot of people will be sent off in every game.

Both head coaches were satisfied with their teams' performance. Flick believed that the team had the upper hand in the first half, but the red card completely changed the game. Mourinho felt that his team was more threatening and played the most exciting game of the season.

"Through this game, I feel that the team has gained confidence. More importantly, if you analyze the detailed data, you will find that we are creating more shooting opportunities than our opponents in every game."

Mourinho believes that Manchester United could have kept a clean sheet in this game, but Choupo-Moting scored a brilliant world-class goal. He believes that it was not a mistake made by Manchester United's defenders.

………………

Although he praised the opponent's striker, Mourinho gave more praise to his team captain.

"The comprehensiveness of the technique determines the richness of the tactics. Bruno is undoubtedly a very comprehensive player. He makes all the defensive players who mark him feel very painful because they will find it difficult to stop him."

"Bruno at his best? No, he's clearly not at his best, at least I haven't seen it yet."

Mourinho said he was also very surprised by Bruno's hat trick.

"He was very active and worked very hard tonight, but in the locker room after the game, he told us that he didn't even think about a hat trick. He just wanted to get the ball into the opponent's goal. At that time, he felt that he was sure to do it, so he chose to do it alone."

"I would say that he has never been a very independent player. On the contrary, he has always been a team player. He has scored 10 goals in the Champions League this season, but he also contributed five assists. I think this is a nearly perfect start for a player."
